Okay, so next week (yay!) is coming a lot sooner than I thought it would be.  Does that make any sense?  Nope, not to me either (is that right - either? - sense being made?  No… But I am trying to come up with a definitive plan - am looking into booking a room for a few hours to get changed and try and make myself look beautiful presentable not like an X-Files monster.  I have now given my spare ticket away - I was going to do a video log today with the draw on it but… how do I put this?  I did not want to scare people.

I spent another day in front of the computer deliberately taking myself offline to avoid distractions… and then ended up spending most of the time watching ‘Two Guys and a Girl’ on YouTube.

And now while I am FULLY concentrating on writing this I am also delighting in the fact that my iPod is being updated for the first time in about a month.  I thought I had lost my USB cable but it was a mislaying… and now (hooray) I found it inside a half empty ream of paper.  What the hell it was doing in there I don’t know but shiny and fabulousness.  I can now load it up with Sing Along joy… and try not to embarrass myself too much.

I wandered over to Last FM for the first time in a while and it’s all changed - they have overhauled the… something or another and now there will be that period of getting used to it all again.

My cat woke me at 3am, 4:30am and then at 5:30am. Her timekeeping is getting more… annoying.  And I swear the rest of the family is wearing ear plugs, or has a higher tolerance for the wailing coming out of her, because they all denied hearing a thing last night. Am hoping for at least a few hours tonight.

I got sent an email asking me why I don’t reply to comments anymore.  I do… I just don’t send them out by email any more as I have one of those ‘Check the box for comments in your email.’ things; but I can start replying by email again - let me know what you would prefer?

Going to St. Annes tomorrow for a thing, have been promising myself a walk down by the beach for a while - really hoping two things - that it’s nice weather and that the town isn’t covered in kids.  I kind of know the kids will be there but I think this may be my last chance before the evil of Summer Holidays really kills the enjoyment of the rest of us.

I am having an incredibly bad self image day.  Doesn’t help that the new moisturiser I got has apparently decided to suck the moisture out of my skin making it dryer than before.  It’s like a desert here!  And I’m not sure but I’m fairly certain it’s responsible for the weird rash I’ve got between my fingers - bright red and sore as hell - tried taking a pic but… well, you try it.

That’s it for the time being - am going to sleep now in a vague attempt to get up at a reasonable time tomorrow - haha.

I got up very very late today, wrote new scouty lyrics (which suck badly) to Nickelback’s Rockstar, wrote a first sentence to a new story, watched some TV and then had a mild panic when I went back to my Mac and couldn’t switch it on…

Battery not charged. Took me 20 minutes to figure that out.

The cat fell asleep on me for an hour, then yawned and walked off - nice to be used.

Trying to figure out what was wrong today and I’ve just figured it out.

I missed Doctor Who.

Thank God for iPlayer.

This post is random in the style of Penelope over at It’s Me… Penelope…

First up a huge Happy Birthday to aka_monty over at The Daily Bitch , she is ‘celebrating’ turning 40 (the age I can’t wait to get to) so please hop over there and wish her all the best!

Okay, so I would like to apologise for yesterday’s immensely sucky post. I have reached new levels of crap with that and, yes, I feel really bad about it. I have quite a few excuses but no real reasons for it.

I picked up the pills that I forgot to blog about. The mean doctor prescribed me Provera. Being a serial Googler though I’ve just seen that you should avoid taking them if you have High Blood Pressure and a history of Depression. Further proof that he didn’t read my notes… Knobhead. But I’m seeing nice GP on Wednesday where I shall question the credentials of Meanie.

Have decided when I move into my own place I am going to buy a cello and learn to play it. There are ones on Ebay for about £150. Yo-Yo Ma makes it look so easy!

I have been doing more singing recently - building up lung capacity as much as possible. Made me think about the Blogger Christmahanukwanzaakah Online Holiday Concert when I embarrassed myself quite badly. Not being one to shy away from that kind of thing though I am proposing a summer version where we could do a kind of end of school concert? Any thoughts?

My wireless is bouncing up and down like a yo-yo (ma - oh I crack myself up) - what I wouldn’t do for a stable connection! Was really annoying especially as I was having a really entertaining IM conversation!

Offering a choice of post tomorrow - truth or fiction? Yes, it’s a GBBMC08 post so lots of sex eitherway…. or something truthful but embellished? Gotta make Sunday exciting somehow!
